I can't write books so I review them instead
I’ve had my eye on this novel for a while. I really liked the premise of it, which reminded me a lot of the Queen of the Tearling series. I really like fantasy stories with strong female leads and this one showed a lot of promise. Everything has a spirit, be it the wind or…
This novel has been on my TBR list for a very long time. I love me a good horror story, but I’m ashamed to admit that I wasn’t able to find the time to fit this book in over the years. Well, since I live right beside my local library, I decided that I would…

When I was young, I had these amazing neighbours who I loved like my own grandparents. They had no children of their own, so they quite enjoyed having me over. They always gave me the best gifts, recognizing what my likes and dislikes were quite aptly. For one birthday, they gifted me two books that…
There are only a handful of books that I have read that are zombie themed. Some I’ve hated, and some I’ve loved. This book definitely falls in the latter category. For 25 years, humans have been hiding away from the dead in isolated enclaves, trying to sustain themselves in this new and undead world. Temple…
When I read the premise of this novel, I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know if it was going to be humorous or dark, if it was going to be steeped in mythology or more of an urban fantasy. Either way, it was too intriguing to not pick up. So here I am,…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The world may be broken after the Shift, with its unforgiving sand lands and its shortage of food and water. But for Tara, it is home. It is where she lives happily with her grada and the rest of…
